From the Brand: Exploration is at the heart of all that Westland produces; the eighth edition of Garryana American Single Malt is no exception. Garryana Edition 8 builds on its seven predecessors- incorporating all that has been learned along the way. The sturdy and savory notes of Garry oak expand to a rich berry character with the addition of a Pedro Ximénez (PX) finishing cask in the final bottling. “Garryana 8 plays on a theme established in editions four and six,” says Shane Armstrong, Master Blender at Westland Distillery. “Each edition is iterative and exploratory – a valley between retrospection and progression.  PX sherry casks recur in this release, all full maturation 500l Butts for 6-8 years, adding an atypical floral backdrop to a vatting defined by Garry Oak spice.”
